I had to fast forward through several parts to get through it. Way too much drama stretched out in each of the character groups. You start to lose sympathy for some of the characters.
Also, the character Mitsuki Yamato is the most annoying of all. She acts like she's the only lesbian to exist on the planet. Always angry and very immature throwing tantrums through out the whole time. Even after 1 year into the event, she's acting like a spoiled brat. Grow up and put your big girl panties on!! Someone like that supposed to have an administrative position in JASA? Pleassseee, so un-realistic. SMH.

I really want to like it but it better pick up pace. They're spending so much time on characters we don't care about or aren't invested in yet. Slow pointless camera pannings, and needless side stories. They need to get us gripped. I wait a week for an hour long episode and virtually nothing happens, week on week. I'm loosing interest and the will to live though another slow or non progressive episode. As a side note if that's the way American soldiers treat foreign nationals in their own country, it's no wonder terrorism exists. It's painful to watch.
For the love of God!!!!
--Too much unnecessary repetitive dramatic conversation --The audience got it the first 100,000 times on the first season.
I started out genuinely interested in several of the characters buuuuut I've literally never watched a series where I felt like the writers were almost forcing me to dislike every character by the end And speaking of endings-- season 2 .... Really.. Largest waste of my time Award Winner of the year. I will attempt to run over my own head with my car before I'll attempt to watch a third season. I hope the aliens eat the production team of this series.

I'll admit, I'm only three episodes in at writing this and I shall revisit once I've hit my limit, or should I actually end up liking it (Strong doubt).
I am all for slow burn and methodical set ups but so far this is nothing but a long hard slog. There are just too many character back stories to build up with which is by no means confusing but I just now have four story arcs spanning three episodes and zero care for any of them. It may not be so bad had the acting not been mediocre at best, or if everyone didn't already seem so bloody depressed.
So far; it's poorly written with garbage dialogue, the pacing is all over the plane and there's no likeable characters, all of that's had me reaching for my phone to fill a good chunk of the 58 min running time.

Invasion is actually a pretty decent show. There are so many alien invasion shows and movies to choose from these days but I'd definitely recommend putting this on your list to watch. Some sci-fi fans may be a little disappointed because it doesn't have a bunch of action, it takes it time to build the story. It's about a group of aliens that come to Earth and threatens the very existence of humanity. The show follows five ordinary people from all over the world in real time as they do their best to survive this invasion. If you don't like slow burn tv shows then you probably won't like this either but I still think you should at least give it a chance. You might just like it.
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the meanings of Mitsuki in Japanese is "Full Moon" and one of the meanings of Hinata is "Sun"... That makes the lovable lesbian couple (portrayed by Shioli Kutsuna and Rinko Kikuchi) a perfect complement to each other.
